Darwin was right, but it does look like fun!

Ha thats funny. Its a shame that they don't show more of the wrecks though. I'm curious to know what these kids do for a living that they can afford to dump tons of cash into their bikes once they wreck them. Its frickin expensive.
I do hate these vids though, because our bikes look like "crotch rockets" to the un knowing eye we get lumped in with idiots like this.

I enjoy watching those video for the skill and sheer guts. The "collateral damage" along the way makes me cringe though.
I would beat myself up if I dropped my bike doing a stunt!

shopping could be fun
agree that most of it is very Darwinian but I do like the supermarket aisle scene!

Please drop your bike doing a stunt. I think it would be hilarious watching a video of you beating yourself up.

Brings to mind that scene from "Me, Myself, and Irene" where Jim Carey's two personalities have a fight with each other on the train platform... I still laugh my butt off everytime I see that...

It is funny because I saw some guys up towards Mt Glorious filming stunting last week and thought that that would be fun to be filmed whilst doing that sort of thing.
I then thought about the embarrassment factor of stacking and realised that I didn't want 5 minutes of infamy on YouTube.  or a vid of me beating myself up!!

It's a question of mind over matter or in this case mind doesn't matter. Serious skills, little wisdom.
